"I’m living and healing out loud because silence nearly destroyed my spirit." – Amanda Sharp

In this episode, we dive deep into the heavy weight of shame and how it silences us, isolates us, and keeps us from healing. Silence feels safe, but it slowly destroys our spirit.

Healing starts when we break the silence.If you’ve ever felt weighed down by guilt, fear, or self-judgment, this episode will remind you: you are not alone, and your voice matters.

“A personal testimony is our battle cry, and that's why the enemy wants us to keep it a secret. I speak my healing loudly because silence almost swallowed me, and I will not disregard the pit He rescued me from.” – Amanda Sharp

Secrets are heavy. They start small, but before long they shape how you see yourself, how you respond to others, even how close you’ll let people get. We tell ourselves we’re “protecting” others by not sharing. Or that it’s not a big deal. But the truth? Secrets cost us more than we realize. They keep us isolated. They feed shame. And they stop us from experiencing the real freedom that comes with being fully known. Here’s the hardest part: sometimes it’s not the secrets we’re keeping from others… it’s the ones we’re keeping from ourselves. What if the thing you’ve hidden the deepest is the very thing that could unlock peace, intimacy, and healing? Maybe you’d enjoy a deeper conversation on this. It might just shift the way you think about what you keep in the dark.

"A human can be given all the tools to acquire freedom and still choose to use a toothpick to dig. "- Amanda Sharp

Why do we make life harder than it needs to be?

In this episode, Amanda & Christy dig into the stubborn ways we sabotage our own growth, cling to control, and let ego run the show — even when freedom is right in front of us.From personal stories of parenting, leadership, and faith, you’ll hear how pride, fear of failure (and even fear of success) can keep us stuck in old patterns. But there is another way: choosing ease, enrolling others into your vision, and trusting that God designed dreams to be lived out in community — not in isolation.

We talk about:

Why resistance multiplies when it “has to be your way”

The surprising truth about fear of success vs. fear of failureHow community, delegation, and humility unlock bigger dreams

Why not every relationship or calling has to be “grueling” to matter

The freedom of keeping your dreams and relationships private until they’re ready to flourish

This episode will challenge you to ask: Are you digging with a toothpick… or finally picking up the tools God has already placed in your hands?

“Whenever I have a need to be right, it drastically impacts my attitude, response, and grace given and received. - Amanda Sharp

In this episode, along with sharing the #1 tool Amanda has learned in over 20 years in personal development, they tackle one of the most common but destructive habits in relationships, faith, and personal growth — the need to be right. Amanda shares what she learned 20 years ago in a personal development seminar: that the #1 human “disease” is being right… and how it ties to deep, often hidden “crappy core beliefs” we’ve carried since childhood. When you cling to proving your point, you keep yourself chained to old hurts, waiting for apologies that may never come.

Here, you’ll learn how releasing the grip on being “right” can free you from emotional prisons, restore peace in broken relationships, and help you finally move forward — without needing anyone’s permission. You’ll hear raw stories of divorce, betrayal, and even decades-long grudges — and how letting go of the need to have the last word opened the door to true forgiveness and emotional freedom. Whether it’s conflict with your spouse, kids, coworkers, or your own self-talk, this episode will challenge you to ask: Am I fighting for truth… or just fighting to win?

Amanda opens up about her own extreme judgments on divorce… while living through two of them. She even shares the moment she understood how anger could drive someone to thoughts she once found unthinkable.This conversation is raw, a little convicting, and totally freeing — because when we see ourselves clearly, we can finally stop wasting time judging and start living with grace.If you’ve ever thought, “I’d never do that,” you might need to hear this one.
